Stayed for 3 nights in April 2012 for a visit to Melbourne. The hotel is located close to the Southern Cross train station and a tram stop is virtually at the front door. We made use of the secure, outdoor hotel parking which is a quick walk from the hotel. The staff are very helpful and accommodating, especially Monika in... More

I have stayed here a couple of times for a girls weekend away. We walk just about everywhere so it is very central for us but has transport at your doorstep too. The staff were very friendly and rooms excellent.

Stayed 3 nights at Alto and would stay again. The location was brilliant - Bourke Street tram stop right on your doorstep. We pre-booked car parking as well, which was a bonus. The parking is across the road in a private, remote control access car lot. Since it's a little walk from the hotel it can be awkward with suitcases... More

I chose the Alto on previous reviewers' advice for my 3 night solo break from a stressful job and my testosterone-filled home. Position is great for easy arrival by Skybus from the airport to Southern Cross Station, then a one block walk across Spencer St up Bourke St. It is however quite a distance from the CBD which is okay...

We had been travelling for three weeks overseas and had requested an early check in. The hotel was full but they proprietized the make up of our room so that we got access as soon as possible. Whilst waiting they provided coffee and helped us plan our visit ie what tram to catch, where to catch it, how the ticketing... More

We just stayed at the Alto for the second time and it was as good as thye first time around. Really well located near to Airport bus station and really friendly staff. Excellent service. We WILL be back.

Stayed here for 8 nights and loved it! Great location if you're attending the Exhibition and Convention Centre or Casino - 15 minute walk or 5 on the tram which stops 30 metres from the Hotel door. Etihad Stadium is within walking distance too. Jump on the tram at the front of the hotel and 5 minutes down the road... More

This is an example of an hotel with perfect service, everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful. Although the room looked a bit small when we first walked in, it had everything you need, the bathroom was spacious and spotless clean. It's only a short walk to the CBD, Hardware Lane is around the corner with many options for delicious food... More

My wife and I stayed 4 nights at Alto in early March. The location is not impressive being a long walk into the center and opposite the Melbourne Hotel which can be noisy at night (although the soundproofing is effective). The hotel felt a bit claustrophobic because of our room's view of a brick wall, and the tiny reception area.... More
